Snyk

Overview

Snyk finds and fixes vulnerabilities in open-source dependencies, container images, IaC configs, and code. Integrates into CLI, CI/CD, Git repos, and IDEs.

Instructions

Step 1: Setup

npm install -g snyk
snyk auth

Step 2: Scan Dependencies

snyk test                    # test for vulnerabilities
snyk monitor                 # continuous monitoring
snyk fix                     # auto-fix vulnerabilities

Step 3: Container Scanning

snyk container test node:20-alpine
snyk container test my-app:latest --file=Dockerfile

Step 4: IaC Scanning

snyk iac test                # scan Terraform, K8s manifests
snyk iac test --report       # upload to dashboard

Guidelines

  • Free tier: 200 dependency tests/month, unlimited container tests.
  • Use --severity-threshold=high in CI to fail only on critical issues.
  • snyk fix auto-generates PRs with dependency upgrades.
  • Alternatives: npm audit (basic), GitHub Dependabot (free), Socket.dev (supply chain).
